There will be a 7-day training workshop at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory for students and early-career scientists who want to gain experience with the analysis of multichannel seismic reflection data from June 22-29, 2015.

The workshop will cover the fundamentals of reflection seismology and the full sequence of steps involved in processing raw seismic reflection data into time-migrated images, including geometry and binning, noise suppression, velocity analysis, and migration. Participants will have extensive hands-on experience processing data with commercial processing software. Read the full story »
